Oh my god. It’s like the president runs the military. Third world stuff really. No other president has tried to run the military. It’s not in the job description
The President does not have king-like control over the military. He's the commander and chief officer, but the war-powers reside with congress, as does budgetary power.
The lawyers in the military are the ones that would report him over-stepping his authority to congress...
